About this trial
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 doses of AC01 compared to placebo over 12 weeks in participants with chronic advanced HFrEF.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
History of Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) diagnosed greater than or equal to (>=6) months before screening, and in NYHA Class II to IV at screening.
LVEF less than or equal to (<=) 35 percentage (%) by local reading >=6 months before screening or a record of LVEF qualitatively described as severely reduced or moderately-severely reduced >=6 months before screening, and
LVEF <=35% at the screening echocardiography (confirmed by core lab), and
no known LVEF greater than (>) 35% (or qualitatively described as less than moderately-severely reduced) between the 2 readings.
Disqualifiers
Any acute or serious co-morbid condition that could lead to premature termination of study participation or interfere with the measurement or interpretation of the efficacy and safety assessments in the study.
Admitted to hospital with the primary reason of HF within 24 hours before randomization or currently hospitalized with the primary reason of HF for more than 10 days. Current hospitalization (>24 hours and <=10 days) is capped at a maximum of 15% of participants enrolled.
Acute coronary syndrome, stroke or transient ischemic attack, severe ventricular arrhythmia, or major cardiac intervention, percutaneous coronary intervention, valvuloplasty/other cardiac valve repair or implantation, or cardiac surgery within 60 days before randomization.
Systolic blood pressure >130 or ˂90 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) at screening, or >140 or ˂85 mmHg at randomization.
